Anyone interested in doing the Outbreak Prime exotic pulse rifle quest? I've seen this weapon in use a lot in the crucible and it seems pretty powerful.
You do have to activate all 5 monitors and then complete the raid in 1 run. I don't remember if I had completed the raid before the night we did the monitors and killed the boss. I'm pretty sure I hadn't. I'll have to check my stream from a couple weeks back.
Confirmed, you do not have to complete the raid before starting the quest for the Outbreak Prime. Here is a link to us doing the monitors and killing boss. This was my first completion of the raid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry3uMRt0Rzk
Just to second SoulTerror, the fifth monitor unlocks after you have unlocked the other 4 monitors, and killed Aksis in a single raid instance. Cool that you have it on a stream, SoulTerror!
You cannot go to orbit, and if people get kicked that can reset the monitors. That happened to a team I was on during our first attempt - just after getting to Aksis, people started getting zoo animal errors, and one by one everybody but one person got kicked to orbit. We all rejoined him and finished the raid only to find the door to the last monitor locked.
I had read that you had to complete it one shot, no checkpoints and had even read that people cannot leave to orbit, so we were playing super paranoid that night. There was a lot of time wasted while we found better instructions for the fourth monitor and sussed out what to do. I ran it again the next night and it went much more smoothly.
Honestly though, I really liked this quest. It had some puzzles/challenges to do just to get the quest line, and then it forces you to work in teams (1 of each class) to complete various tasks and solving math puzzles (which there are cheats for out there) along the way, then forces you back into the raid to kill three bosses.
Before you can start the quest you have to complete the raid, activating all the monitors along the way. Once that is done you will get the quest..
Gotta get it done one of these days.
